PhysIQ, founded by Purdue alumnus Gary Conkright, received a $500,000 investment from Purdue Research Foundation’s Foundry Investment Fund to help advance medical technology.
PlaneEnglish, a simulator created by the three Purdue alumni, has received a $1 million SBIR Phase II award, sponsored by the Air Force and AFWERX, the Air Force’s technology and innovation hub.
As the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak causes worldwide concern, Purdue University scientists say control measures are an absolute necessity and that medical treatments for similar disease are on the horizon. They are developing a drug to fight coronavirus. The drug works by blocking a key enzyme of the virus, preventing it from replicating.
Researchers at Purdue University have created a technology to address the thickness issue for wearable power generation. They developed a woven, thermoelectric flexible fabric that is potentially thinner than a millimeter.
It has been suggested that the expansion in palm oil production is driven by biofuel production in U.S. but a Purdue University study shows that only a scant fraction of the deforestation in Indonesia and Malaysia can be pinned on U.S. biofuel production and policy.
AnalySwift LLC, a Purdue University-affiliated commercial software provider, has received a $125,000 Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grant from NASA. The STTR award will help the company further develop its SwiftComp software, technology that provides efficient, high-fidelity modeling of deployable structures made of high-strain composites.
Researchers are studying ways to prevent a polymer’s “mechanical breathing,” an effect that causes the layers of a smart window to delaminate.
Scientists at Purdue University have created the world’s fastest-spinning human-made object and the most sensitive torque detector by suspending a nanoparticle in a vacuum with a laser, and then using a second laser to test its torque sensitivity. The object revolves at 300 billion revolutions per minute. Or, put another way, half a million times faster than a dentist’s drill.
Purdue University researchers are aiming to stump drug counterfeiters with an edible “security tag” embedded into medicine. To imitate the drug, a counterfeiter would have to uncrack a complicated puzzle of patterns not fully visible to the naked eye.
Purdue University researchers have designed a novel approach to use deep learning to better understand how proteins interact in the body.
